Elone grins fleetingly at Jaina. "I am certain you did all that you could."
She turns to Rana. "Apparently Solonor did not wish to meet me just yet. Somehow I do feel different, though. Perhaps my visit with him has granted me a gift...." She looks thoughtful for a moment, then shakes her head. "His wisdom is not mine yet, though. How can we escape? If given a chance to pray for Solonor's divine grace, I could likely manage to get us out, but I suspect the guards will not allow us such a luxury...."

"We must get into this safe. Do any of you have the means to do so?"

The party lacks a real rogue. The closest you have is Alex, with his measly +5 in Open Locks and Disable Device.
You'll need to use spells or come up with some pretty massive force.
Rana sits up drowsily, turns, and puts her feet on the floor. If they have any idea about the nature of my powers, they will return quite soon to "feed" us again. If we are oging to do something, it will have to be soon.
(Rana's casting is as a sorc, so she has her spells available)

Elone nods. "If you have your abilities, then we had best make our attempt now."
She pats herself down, checking to see if perhaps the guards missed anything of value - her brooch of shadows, mayhap, or her boots, or her dust of tracelessness.
"What are our assets? Without Solonor's aid, I am a fair tracker, able to hide myself from view, and still a good shot with a bow, if we can find one. "
She then casts around the room, looking for anything that might serve as a tool or weapon.
She will also try to cast her thoughts about to see if anyone can hear her, though she doubts there will be any effect (OOC: Using Divine Emissary power - she can comm. telepathically with any CG outsider, or servant of Solonor, within 60').

Elone has nothing on her except clothes. Now that she has thought to examine them, she notices that they aren't even hers, and are in fact a bit too cityish for her tastes.
There is no one to hear her thought broadcast.
Meanwhile in the inn...
The door to the safe gets red hot. The metal gearworks melt and the bolts become as soft as butter. You see little sparking explosions as magical traps and glyphs are destroyed. You see Calain has returned to the doorway. The safe creeps open. He says "Oh, come on. That one was easy, no? You'd beter loot that safe and get out of here. Something very, very, big is coming. He disappears in a flash of fire.
The safe is full of gold bars, theiving equiptment of all sorts, and assorted magical items that will take a long time to identify.

Elone sighs. "I have nothing. And I would dearly like to find my equipment, for I am somewhat attached to most of it. Is there anything you can do to get us out of this cage?"
She paces around the room, testing the walls and doors for weakness, but expecting none.

Rana thinks and says to Elone: "It will be hard to get out of here...Teleportation out is bloacked. Perhaps if you attempted to plead for your spells in an abbreviated period of time, your god will grant you the power to help us all escape. I can help, I think. I can cast a spell capable of contacting the gods on their faraway planes. It is risky, though, and if you are to ask the questions through me, you will have to remain in continuous physcal contact with me (You'll need a way to make that and the concentrating look less suspicious). Even then, Solonor might deny your request or simply reject it. You will have to be very pursuasive and careful in your wording."
The big demon (Which Rana identifies as a Yangoloth Daemon, a powerful lower planer mercenary) walks up to your cell, escorted by four men in black robes, three of whom carry trays of food. The one not carrying anything says "Eat up and don;t try to escape. Those of you who are new here should note that while additional hostages are useful, you are both very, very expendable." He waves his hands in the air, painting bright swirling colors that keep floating through the air in a twirling pattern. The three of you cannot help but stare at it. Rana and Jaina are quickly lulled stuporous, but Elone resists the magic. The three men bring in the food and lay it down in front of you. The Yangoloth blocks the doorway.

Elone curses under her breath, and does her best to look stupified by the colors as well. If only the demon weren't in the door, or someone else was alert....
She briefly considers diving between the creatures legs, but can't abandon her companions, and she doubts she would make it anyway.

The leader says "now lie down..." and Rana and Jaina do so...Elone follows. They put down the food trays next to your beds, leave the cell, and lock the door behind them. The Daemon stands guard. The colors disappear and after a couple minutes Rana and Jaina wake up. The leader says: "Ok, now, eat..."
Examining the food before you, you realize that they must somehow know what your favorite foods are, becuase they are sitting on the tray before you.
Rana and Jaina pick up their trays, seemingly resigned to the fact that they are going to have to eat the food.
